Brian McFarlane has spent a lifetime watching and writing about movies, and interviewing many leading directors and actors. We were given the task of encapsulating that past in designing a cover for his light-hearted memoir. A red carpet leads the reader's eye towards the cinema as promised land, flanked by posters depicting key figures in Brian's cinematic and personal life. The result has colour, depth and a sense of fun, accurately representing the text of the book.
